All its services are funded by donations, with charity shops in Pulborough and Billingshurst. Money is also raised at the monthly screenings held by the Mary How Trust Film Society at West Chiltington Village Hall, as well as events held in the community like quiz nights and bingo. To mark the 30th anniversary the charity launched its appeal, asking people to donate £30 to mark its 30th.

The Mary How Trust is aiming to raise around £30,000 to buy a new ultrasound machine. It is also seeking to raise funds needed to support the trust’s own blood laboratory, which is at the heart of its health screening programme.

“A new ultrasound machine will ensure that we have the latest trechnology available to help more people,” says Mr Follis.
